He had fallen out with manager Hollins. Chelsea were shite - finished 4th bottom in 1987-88. We weren’t. In fact we were Cup holders. We were shopping at Harrods not Woolworths apparently.

But can’t you see it’s a really curious instinct when presented with this example to say “but if it was three black blokes abusing a white player it wouldn’t even be on the news”? 1) it wasn’t. 2) I suspect it would be news. 3) if you must persist with this confection, can’t we agree they...

Quite a bizarre scenario you paint. A white footballer being abused by 3 non-white fans. I’m curious as to why you even think it’s necessary to construct this fictional account of player abuse unless it is to dilute the accusations of racism from these white fans towards Sterling...

Yes we could have but it wasn’t a fluke that we didn’t. We are too ponderous. Take ages to engineer a shot even from clear cut opportunities. We were v poor yesterday not unlucky.

They’ve mailed again....

Aha. Can’t make head nor tail.... “ Thank you for contacting Ifollow Support. The game has not been made available in the UK as agreed between EFL and both clubs. You will be able to listen to audio of the game. Thank You Jhanai,Ifollow Support“

EFL/iFollow response to my email indicated that both clubs need to agree to the broadcast and they haven’t.

It might be because there is a live EFL game on the tv at the same time. Ipswich-WestBrom and the blackout principle might apply. Makes little sense to me but that’s the only reason I can think of.

Press association reporting a v different team - now corrected. As you were

Haven’t we talked about Callum Wilson both moving on from Bournemouth and getting an England call up for about 6 transfer windows now? I’m not convinced either is going to happen. 1) his record at AFCB is excellent but he’s known to be injury prone. Can’t see a top six side signing him and...

Clive says it was Jordan Willis. Earlier he told us that Willis is easy to spot because of the “permanent” bandage he wears on his arm.

A fourth time now. Still missing Dominic according to Clive.

Clive has now said that three times that “Dominic Sterling” won’t be playing today.

Not as big a blunder as lining up Andy Blair (against whom I have nothing) as the guest of honour and thus co-commentator on CWR on Saturday. With the best will in the world he was going to find it hard to be what we need from the summariser. Too often it feels to me that Clive wants the...

Up to a point. But didn’t see much respect or humility with the way they treated Ranieri or Shakespeare. Both were publicly briefed against and then sacked with v little compassion or understanding for what they’d actually achieved.

Aha. Not q like Manc tho where there are loads of us

Work in Liverpool. Don’t suppose either of you are the bloke I met when running the Liverpool half marathon last March?

Well Clive will be pleased Doncaster have scored at least.

Didn’t lose either of those games either. Drew and were knocked out on a penalty shootout

Hmm got to raise an eyebrow at all these folk who claim “an easy lower league team at home”. Have they not seen our record vs Worcester, Northampton etc.? Macclesfield or Stockport away for me but we’ll probably be away to Portsmouth
